Privacy Policy

Effective February 6, 2023

I am committed to maintaining the trust and confidence of visitors to my website. I do not sell, rent or trade email lists with other companies and businesses for marketing purposes. I am committed to respecting your privacy rights and I will handle your data securely and legally at all times. I am also dedicated to being transparent about what data I collect about you and how you use it. This privacy policy describes the information that I gather on or through this website, how I use it, and the steps I take to protect it. For purposes of this policy, “Personal Data” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.

What personal data I collect and why I collect it

Analytics

My website uses Google Analytics, a service which transmits website traffic data to Google servers in the United States. I use reports provided by Google Analytics to help me understand website traffic and webpage usage. Google Analytics does not identify individual users or associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. By using this website, you consent to the processing of data about you by Google in the manner described in Google’s Privacy Policy and for the purposes set out above. You can opt out of Google Analytics if you disable or refuse the cookie, disable JavaScript, or use the opt-out service provided by Google.

Google Fonts

Because this website uses Google fonts, visitors’ IP addresses will be sent to Google servers.

Content from other websites and social media links

My website may contain links to other websites. Please be aware that I am not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. When you go to other websites from here, you may want to read their privacy policies too. My site also uses interfaces with social media sites such as Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter and others. If you choose to “like” or “share” information from this website through these services, you may want to review the privacy policy of that service. If you are a member of a social media site, the interfaces may allow the social media site to connect your visits to this site with other Personal Data.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Who I share your data with

No one.  I am not in the business of selling or sharing your personal information with other companies or individuals.

What rights you have over your data

You are entitled to view, amend, or delete the Personal Data that I hold. To protect your privacy and the privacy of others, I will need evidence of your identity before I can grant you access to information about you or change it.  Contact me if you wish to initiate this process.

How I protect your data

I follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the information submitted to us, both during transmission and once I receive it. I maintain appropriate administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect Personal Data against accidental or unlawful destruction, accidental loss, unauthorized alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access, misuse, and any other unlawful form of processing of the Personal Data in our possession. I use SSL technology to encrypt data during transmission through public internet. However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. I cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or store on our website, and you do so at your own risk. I also cannot guarantee that such information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards. If you believe your Personal Data has been compromised, please contact me.

Changes to Privacy Policy

All changes to this privacy policy are effective when they are posted on this page. When I change the policy in a material manner, I will let you know via email and/or a prominent notice on my website, prior to the change becoming effective and update the ‘effective date’ at the top of this page.

Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns about this policy.
